โ€œOne day youโ€™ll be the voice on the other end
Saying hold on, Iโ€™ve been where youโ€™ve been.โ€
โ€” Able Heart, โ€œIf You Canโ€™t Find Hopeโ€

This lyric stopped me in my tracksโ€”because it perfectly captures what I see every day in people living with chronic pain.

I notice a pattern with pain that lasts longer than 3 months (which, honestly, is a shockingly short window for someone to start feeling hopeless because theyโ€™re told Itโ€™s now โ€œchronicโ€).

People come in feeling defeated.
Like their body is broken.
Like this is just their new normal.

I need you to hear this clearly: ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ฃ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ.

I know that because Iโ€™ve been there.

I didnโ€™t realize how much pain was quietly running my lifeโ€”
disrupting my sleep,
hurting my mental health,
and creating constant anxiety about my foot and ankle.

I worried about whether I could keep doing the work I love.
I dreaded getting out of bed, knowing the second my feet hit the floor the pain would come rushing back.
I slept with my foot flexed, afraid my calf muscles would tighten overnight.
I couldnโ€™t keep up with my kids running and playing.
I avoided working out because I knew how much it would hurt laterโ€ฆ and I gained weight because moving hurt.

It felt like I was trapped in a body that wouldnโ€™t let me live.

I tried ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜บ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ.
Nothing worked.

Then I found RAPID.

After my very first session, I stood upโ€”and for the first time in over a yearโ€”๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ hurt.
I cried. Not because it was โ€œfixed forever,โ€ but because I finally had proof that change was possible.

The nervous system downshift afterward was just as powerful.
The calm.
The safety.
The sleepโ€”I slept like a baby.

That moment changed everything.

So when I say I understand chronic pain, Iโ€™m not guessing.
Iโ€™m not reciting a textbook.
Iโ€™m telling you Iโ€™ve lived it.

Thatโ€™s why I believe so deeply in this work.
Youโ€™re not brokenโ€”you just need the right support, the right tools, and someone who truly ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ด it.

Iโ€™ll meet you where you are.
Bring a little faith.
Trust the process.

And maybe one day, youโ€™ll be the voice on the other end too.

Because this work was never about chasing an exit plan.
Itโ€™s about the moments that matterโ€”the relief on someoneโ€™s face when pain finally lets go, the trust built on the table, the quiet wins that donโ€™t make headlines but change lives.

Money is loud. Purpose is steady.
And Iโ€™d choose this work every time.

How lucky am I to love what I do so much that even โ€œnever having to work againโ€ wouldnโ€™t pull me away from my clients or this community?

I donโ€™t show up because I ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ to.
I show up because I ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต to.
Because I ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ.
Because this is ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ญ๐˜บ where Iโ€™m meant to be. ๐Ÿ’›

It can sneak in quietly, build over time, and before you realize it, your body has adapted around itโ€”guarding, bracing, compensating.

RAPID NFR works by changing the conversation between your brain and your body. Instead of forcing tissue to โ€œrelax,โ€ we address the neurological patterns that keep pain and restriction stuck on repeat.

Sometimes relief feels subtle at first.
Easier movement. Less resistance. A quiet shift.

And then one day, you notice whatโ€™s missing.

โœจ If your body has been holding on longer than it needs to, RAPID may be the reset itโ€™s asking for.

Letโ€™s talk about the uniqueness of our bodies for a moment.
Youโ€™ve heard me say it before, every body is different and responds to treatment differently.
But what does that mean for you when youโ€™re deciding what to book?
No two treatments are identical here, even a follow up appointment. Sure, there are similarities, but not everything is the same.
Iโ€™m here to help guide you a bit with my mindset as a professional on what Iโ€™d recommend.
If youโ€™re feeling chronically overwhelmed, stressed, like your whole body is carrying tension? Book Sarga. The slow, deep broad pressure and traction against your fascia will melt your body and help clear your mind. Like a bear hug to your nervous system ๐Ÿซ‚
Want a deep tissue experience that checks off your selfcare list? One that allows you to melt into the table while being pampered? Barefoot massage is both comforting, and luxurious.
Both Sarga and barefoot massage are also great for athletes that want to prevent injury and improve sleep and flexibility.
Do you feel sharp, intense, acute pain? Limited range of motion? That old shoulder injury that just wonโ€™t let you move your arm like you used to without twinging? Nerve hypersensitivity? This is a RAPID thing.
What if youโ€™re a combination, you ask? Lucky for you, I specialize in creating custom therapeutic bodywork experiences.
If you want to melt AND help that cranky shoulder, book the length of your barefoot/sarga experience you desire, followed by a RAPID appointment. We will massage first, have you get dressed, and RAPID at the end. Sometimes this is the best approach if you have a lot of anxiety, have a hard time relaxing, or have experienced more stiffness or soreness than we expected after a RAPID only session.
You can also reach out anytime via Facebook messenger or text to ask my opinion. Iโ€™ll do my best to guide you to what I feel would be most effective for you. ๐Ÿ’› Letโ€™s learn about your body together and come up with solutions unique to YOU.

Donโ€™t risk your safety if you feel unsafe this week driving.

Iโ€™m unsure how long this winter storm will effect school closings and driving conditions, but I want you all to know that if you ever feel unsafe driving to the office I would never penalize you for that.

My commute is really short, so I will always try to be available for appointments.

Things to keep in mind-

I have an 8 year old and a 10 year old. Their daycare is a 20 minute drive in good conditions, and their grandparents are 35 minutes away in good driving conditions. This means on days like the last week or so, driving them this far isnโ€™t safe.

The state isnโ€™t salting much anymore due to the shortage, making back roads or any road that isnt a highway dangerous.

Because of these extenuating circumstances, if you have a RAPID appointment and are fine with my kids being at the office with me, I will still be there, should you feel safe to travel.

If you have a barefoot massage or sarga session, we have options.

1) My kids can come along, and stay in the break room. They know not to look or go behind the curtain for any reason during a session. However, theyโ€™re kids, and they are noisy, making drifting off during your massage difficult. So if you want to relax, this leads to my second option.

2) we reschedule and hope for better weather conditions. My husband does snow removal right now, which makes trying to plan for him having the kids is difficult. But if the schools are open, it wonโ€™t be an issue.

While scheduling during this storm may be tricky, I always have your best interest at heart. I appreciate all of your support, flexibility, and trust during a difficult time.

Your body and brain are taking in a LOT every single day.

Noise. Screens. Deadlines. Texts. Expectations. Pain. Worry. The constant need to be โ€œon.โ€
Even when nothing feels actively wrong, your nervous system is still processing all of it.

Over time, that constant sensory input and outside stress can keep the body stuck in survival mode. When your brain perceives ongoing stress, cortisol stays elevated, muscles stay guarded, breathing gets shallow, and true rest becomes hard to access. The body isnโ€™t brokenโ€”itโ€™s just doing its job to protect you.

The problem is when it doesnโ€™t get a clear signal that itโ€™s safe to stand down.

This is where modalities like barefoot massage and Sarga can be incredibly powerful. They offer different sensory input than what your body is used toโ€”slow, rhythmic, grounded pressure that the nervous system can actually interpret as calming and safe. Many people describe it as meditative, almost like their brain finally gets quiet for a moment.

By changing the sensory conversation your body is receiving, you give your nervous system a chance to reset. Muscles soften, breathing deepens, cortisol can come down, and your body can shift out of constant stress and into restoration.

You donโ€™t have to live in fight-or-flight forever. Sometimes the most healing thing you can do is give your nervous system a new experienceโ€”and let it remember what rest feels like.
